I know some of you have been waiting for this. After yet another extended break, we are back with two new chapters of everyone’s darling project today. The fourth volume of Chokotto Sister kicks off with some dramatic scenes that’ll prove to be pivotal to the relationship between Haruma and you-know-who. Don’t worry though, the rest of the volume still offers enough fun and cuteness to satisfy any CS fan.

While I’m pretty sure most of you already know this, I just want to point out that the official site of the Chokotto Sister anime series that is scheduled to air this summer was officially launched last week. Personally, I think they could have used a more decent picture of Choko (let’s be frank, both her chara design and pose look horrible!) but at least they managed to put up some information about the creative staff behind the anime.

Let’s see, the animation will be produced by NOMAD, which is primarily known for their involvement in Rozen Maiden and its sequel Träumend. I watched neither (well, just the first episode of RM), but their production quality is said to be pretty good. I think CS could become their next big title. There’s hardly anything to screw up in this one, especially with the author Go Zappa himself penning all the scripts. The series will be cute, harmless fun, nothing more and nothing less. With so many bi-shôjo/moe anime coming out these days, it’s unlikely that a title like CS can make a difference. But maybe I’ll be proven wrong.

But enough with my blabbering, we still have one more release to make, and it’s a damn good one. After our recent josei spree, I’m glad to announce a new seinen 1-shot from the pages of Afternoon: Princess Mimia is a little fantasy gem from the author of Ai-ren. It’s a sweet and touching story whose poetical depth is greatly enhanced by the terrific English translation (of course, it’s not from me ^^; ). All thanks should go to ebifry, Girsej, exeuntsl and the incomparable Lq9z-san for bringing us this special story.
